Whoever designed it, the emblem Jonathan mentions and you see on the trail
is the Forest Service sanctioned one. See

Could the CDTA have a warehouse full of them somewhere? -Ron


...Signs serve another purpose... they're an advertisement for the trail. 
The CDT can use all the PR it can get. It can't hurt to let random hikers
know they're on the CDT. To that end, I say: use attractive, small metal
plaques attached to trees a-la the PCT ~10 yards after trail junctions,
please! There already is a CDT emblem. I know the CDTS has another one, but
the CDTA one looks nicer (sorry Jim ;-), and I think it's still viable. Use
the same logo on lucite/fiberglass posts or wood posts stuck in cairns where
there are no trees & it's appropriate.
